Looks like the dating rumors are true about rapper Nelly and video vixen turned actress Tae Heckard. Yesterday, we posted a new Instagram shot of the two chillin' together after rumors swirled for weeks that the two were dating. Now, we have even more proof that Nelly has definitely moved on from Ashanti and is more than "just friends" with Tae.

Pics from their 'Black & White Ball' date night inside...

Tae (real name Lashontae) Heckard is Nelly's newest arm piece. The rumors of the 39-year-old rapper splitting from Ashanti, his girlfriend of 10 years, are ringing more and more true everyday.

Reports surfaced a few days ago that Nelly and Tae were together at his annual Black & White ball in St. Louis last month. And now, here are the pics. Back in December, she posed it up (above) in a white gown with Nelly's nephew (an up and coming rapper) Tab.

And Tae's even won over Nelly's 18-year-old daughter Chanel:

They snapped pics at the event with Chanel saying on her Instagram, "She loves me." Sounds more serious than just a jump off situation...

Chanel, pictured above with her dad at the Ball, has tweeted a few times about her realationship with Tae. And it looks like the ladies get along just fine.

And my has she grown up. Chanel posed it up with her mom before hitting up the Ball's red carpet later that night.

Nephew Tab, who is the son of Nelly's late sister Jackie, posted another pic with Tae recently saying how much he adores her.

And our source close to Nelly tells us that Tae has been spending plenty of time in the Lou the last few months, hanging with the rapper's family. And confirms they are indeed dating.

THE GREAT POWERFUL SPELL CASTER THAT
BRING BACK MY EX BOYFRIEND.
I just want to say thank you prophet ahmed for all you have done for me.
He is back now. That very powerful spell caster STOP THE DIVORCE – and get my ex boyfriend back.
My name is Joy Philip, from Canada. I never believed in love
spells or magic until i met this spell caster once when i went for a business summit
early this year. I meant a man who's name is PROPHET AHMED
he is really powerful and could help cast spells to bring back one's gone,
lost, misbehaving lover and magic money spell or spell for a good job or
luck spell .I’m now happy & a living testimony cos the man i had wanted to
marry left me 3 weeks before our wedding and my life was upside down because our
relationship has been on for 3years. I really loved him, but his mother was
against us and he had no good paying job. So when i met this spell caster,i
told him what happened and explained the situation of things to him. At
first i was undecided, skeptical and doubtful, but i just gave it a try.And
in 7 days when i returned to Canada, my boyfriend(now husband) called me by
himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled with his
mother and family and he got a new job interview so we should get married. I
didn't believe it cos the spell caster only asked for my name and my
boyfriends name and all i wanted him to do. Well we are happily married now
and we are expecting our little kid, and my husband also got the new job and
our lives became much better.in case you are in any situation you can contact
prophet ahmed at his email solutiontemple39@gmail.com or his personal cell +2347053375151
Thank you for all your help prophet.

Ashanti is of African-American ,Dominican, and Chinese decent so whats the big deal what she is or this girl is. let it be. cant a bitch be happy? what goes on in people's lives isnt really our business so let em be they look cute and after 10 years he aint put a ring on it- even after 5 best be out.

Tae is GORGEOUS, & a heath junkie (check out her instagram), but Ashanti put in 10yrs to "MOLD" Nelly into a committed guy, now Tae, or the next chick will eat the FRUITS of HER labor! Nelly is 38, if he is gonna marry, EVER, it will be b4 his 40th bday! His daughter need to put sum PANTS on..she was goin to her father's EVENT, NOT THE CLUB!

I Truly wished Shanti Would Have Left Nelly As Opposed To Him Dupping Her. I Wonder did He Ever Payback That 50,000 Shanti Said He Borrowed From Her About 3 Years Ago? Probably Not. I Really Feel Bad For Her. Watch She Take Him Back. Smh

He was in a 10 year relationship with Ashanti, never married her, never got engaged. They walked around trying to play coy about whether they were in a relationship, but he's PUBLICLY claiming this girl. He'll be marrying her within the next 6 months, WATCH!!! I've seen it happen a few times before with other dumb women who stayed in a long term relationship with the hope of marriage, only to have the relationship end and the negro ends up marrying someone else within a year of them breaking up.
I hope the rumor isn't true about him breaking up with her for cheating, because if so Nelly gotta lotta nerves......SMH

Can't lie I feel bad for Ashanti. I hope this is just like the TI and Tiny moment they had involving the Flavor of Love chick. I hope they do get back together. Tae better pay attention because if he will do it to Ashanti he will do it to her with or without a ring.

Nelly's 18yr old daughter looks just as old as her dad, she ain't cute at all. See ladies you NEVER NEVER stay in a relation for 10yrs and think it's all good. Despite what people think Ashanti made alot of money writing songs for people like Jlo and other's, she also had endorsements like the Gap, Herbal Essence and some jean company, not to mention the few movies she's been in and last but not least her record deal. Ashanti recently said over the years she has turned down 7 record deals because of not wanting to sign the 360 deals where the music company basicly owns you taking huges stakes in your tours money,endorsements etc, THEY WOULD OWN YOU LIKE A SLAVE!
Other blogs have said that Ashanti has lent Nelly around 500,000 through the years. This is why she wasted too much time on him and he has a bunch of baby mama's he's paying money out too as well. Lashontae is a beautiful but Nelly w/ his bad financial problems is NO CATCH! This is why I don't play when a relationship ain't working you have to know when to let go and move on. 10yrs is too long to be waiting on some old rapper w/ no buss smarts! Nelly was offered movie deals that he turned down and clearly was not smart enough to capitalize during the time when he was "HOT" and making buckets money. One thing I know for sure Tae probably has less money than Ashanti does so w/ Nelly and his money woe's, good luck w/ that! Check out Ashanti's interview on "That Grape Juice.net"

@Crazy Sexy Cool, I have just seen too many ladies DRAINED by men MENTALLY and PHYSICALLY all the time. True story I have a girl friend who owns 2 salons and is very very successfull. The guy she dates is a low ex-football player. #1 He's in DEBT and OWES thousands of dollars in back child support. I could see if he had THE POTENTIAL to be more than a BEGGER that only see's her as a BANK. He borrows money and only pays back when she threatens to break up w/ him. He's DUMB and is as BASIC as they come. Now this guy is straight up using her. I just can't w/ these type of men. This guy is DRAINING her financially,she has worked too hard to be with a man like this. That is just one of my girlfriends. I say just avoid this SHIT all together. I did date a guy once you made less them me let's just say I GREW VERY TIRED OF HIM he ANNOYED me and he complained all the time about his finances like a BITCH and did little to improve his situation. I has like So Long and Good Luck to you and your future endeaver's. I tried to motivate him but he was just missing something like: BALLS!

@Shay "He was just missing something like: BALLS!," Lmao! I feel you tho, some men are users. I've NEVER given a man money, but I have been in situations where I've been maybe too understanding; when it came to a guy and him not being able to take me certain places because of his finances. I never complain if a guy doesn't take me to extravagant places, because I don't wanna seem like a gold digger. But the older I get the more expectations people say I should have. Wiser women who've experienced life usually say, "It's better to marry for money than for love." I've always thought that was a horrible thing to say, but I guess LOVE don't pay the bills! I would never wanna be dependent off another man's money, I want my OWN! But I also don't wanna end up with a man who isn't contributing financially or who can't take control when things get rough. I might have to take a page from your book.

Eww his daughter makes some ugly faces... I don't really like Ashanti but that's messed up how a dude you've been with for years and helped him through traumatic events in his life can move on so fast from you. It's as if the relationship meant nothing. Tae is gorgeous tho... I used to think she looked like Nicki Minaj, but that would be an insult because she looks way better.
